Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

Nite on the Town
We all need a space to relax away the responsibilities of a work week.
1950's Chicago Style with Cousin Sarah Green in the middle.
Dressed for a Chicago night on the town with Cousin Willie Scott and his date.
In the 60s, we had a "juke joint" night club near our house. I loved watching the people, usually on Friday and Saturday nights, going to the Big House. The women's hair would be freshly pressed and curled and the men dressed in suits with nice ties. When the wind was just right, I could smell their cologne.
A real night on the town. I have a few photos of uncles and cousins out for a night on the town. Somewhere.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to dressing up for a night on the town - or for going just about anywhere? Love these pictures!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like something I would have done. People watching was a favorite pastime of mine.
